You already can read ebooks on your iphone. Books.app is a new, basic eBook reader for the iPhone that requires books to be transferred to the device via the iPHUC tool. The application reads HTML and text files stored in a media/eBooks folder, and is smart enough to enter subdirectories, if, for instance, you’ve broken a book down by chapters.

I think it’s very important to be able to read ebooks on many different types of digital devices. And there are so many cool things that you can do with ebooks. Have you seen the Moxyland ebook? It’s the first ebook in the world with an embedded soundtrack - a subzero cool reading experience.

30 Sept 2008 - Bill, Peter & Crew
I’m a UK journalist writing a piece about how the eBooks market works,
and in view of the mess the music industry made of converting to the digital market I’m interested in knowing what your concerns are for eBooks. Any chance, please, of some swift responses to the following issues, for publication?

1 - What will bring down the prices of eBooks that currently cost more than the online discount price?

2 - What would you say was a fair price for the ebook version of a printed book that sells for $15?

3 - Do you think the lessons over downloads learnt by the music industry (which is finally starting to abandon DRM) are being absorbed by book publishers and retailers, or not?

Many thanks: email johnson1709 [@] fastmail.fm

hi bill! collaborative filtering
will eventually lower the cost of
“marketing” to next-to-nothing, so
there will be plenty of potential
to make money off iphone e-books.

fine analysis except one key obstacle:

Like watching TV on a 2 inch screen, would you want to read small chunks of a page and have to constantly shift the view to the end of the sentence or next paragraph?

Your arguments agree with those I published in “American Libraries” May issue. A bit of evidence to back your article: in years past, the largest ebook seller was Palm. There too, once a person owned a Palm PDA or phone, it made some sense to add functionality to it by buying books for the device. If ebooks ever take off, it will be on multi-purpose devices and not on dedicated readers like the Kindle.

I’d love to be able to order ebooks on my Iphone. [...various advertising snipped...]

Iphones are very popular and new uses are being created for them almost every day. I use mine for e-mail, photos, going to websites and so many more things than just as a phone.

Bravo, Bill. This is the first truly intelligent post about “e-book” reading and devices that I have seen so far.

Re Joe’s question, what has been amazing so far about the iPod/iPhone, is that the ease and the fun has created demand without a whole lot else having to be done.

We’ll see!
